CRS-25: 12 hooks in the docking mechanism have driven home, pulling the Dragon in for a "hard mate" at the station's forward port; flight controllers will now monitor to verify an airtight structural seal; hatches will be opened ~1:15pm (1715 UTC)

Doug and ASOG are already nearly back from from CRS-25 thanks to a partial boostback burn that placed the droneship only 300km downrange.

Should be arriving at dawn tomorrow.

I was hoping to catch the second stage de-orbit burn over Michigan that night but the tracking display on the audio webcast showed impact south of Australia on the first orbit. So, was the insertion sub-orbital, requiring a circularization burn from Dragon? Much like a Shuttle launch! Is that a new trajectory for Dragon?

Dragon was put into a circular orbit. My guess is that you didn't see the burn due to the fact that the second stage was already within the Earth's shadow.

Mmmm I very much doubt you'd be able to see the deorbit burn over Michigan given it was done over the arabian peninsula

Thank you for that info. So, is that a new launch trajectory for Dragon?

Where can I find out the location of de-orbit burns for future launches?
